I think the composure feature from the penalties needs to be implemented into all free-kicks. I also believe that on free kicks (a goal kick for example) players that are nearby and are short passing options should have a one button option to play the pass. It is frustrating to want to play a short pass only to have to wait for the screen to rotate and allow you to pass to the obvious man in front of you.

As for everything else, FIFA usually hits their improvements right on the head, let's hope though that this year it isn't again at the expense of more important gameplay flaws.

spot on matt,

if my team-mate AI cant pressure or mark, without me mashing the B button, i could care less for another fifa game.

i still come here maybe once a month hoping they patch this or fix it but sadly they have no clue.

football i want to play is where a team attacks together and defends together, not 3 guys passing it around on 2 CB's

I'd much rather have a patch for FIFA 11, than read about early progress on FIFA 12. I respect Rutter & company, but I hope whatever enhancements are included in FIFA 12 will be followed by patches to fix whatever will need it. FIFA 09, 10, and FIFA World Cup 2010 all made progress. FIFA 11 sort of stalled out. One good patch could really fix it.

It'd definitely be nice to see a gameplay patch. Especially considering EA does it with every other sports title.

Agreed. Let's not forget this is EA's best selling title, so how it gets only one patch is rather puzzling to its fan base.

Not to mention it just fixes minor issues here and there and doesn't always completely do that. EA's community interaction regarding FIFA is an absolute joke. It seems with the other sports titles, there are always EA employees answering questions and giving reasons why something was or was not fixed.

With FIFA, everyone just guesses what was fixed as we hear nothing from the actual company.

Slow the game down and have actual build-up play like PES. The fast paced stealfest is the biggest problem for me with FIFA.

Exactly. I never felt so strongly about that until after I played PES 11. Two very, very different games, but the constant pressure in FIFA makes it not seem like soccer at times.

Don't get me wrong, I like FIFA 11, but the stealfest that it is, depresses my enjoyment of the game.

Tell the fans "We've fixed the defensive AI and their insane pressure system" and I'll give this game a shot.

This pretty much hits the nail on the head. And it will be a rent first deal.

If I remember correctly, weren't they touting better AI last year, too?
